59 -59 You Really Know How to Judge People
“Just entered the room and Gu An immediately said, “Senior is here again?”
He spoke up early because he was worried it might not be Chu Meng inside.
If it wasn’t, then it would be very dangerous.
“How did you discover me?” a voice came from the room.
Hearing this, Gu An walked in.
“I didn’t find out.” As Gu An entered the room and saw the woman sitting inside eating peanuts, he said:
“I just speak up when I come back, if there’s someone inside, they will naturally respond.”
Chu Meng was stunned by his words:
“You’re also quite the trickster.”
Gu An looked at the peanuts in her hand with some surprise.
Were these things that delicious?
“Don’t look anymore; you don’t deserve to eat these today,” said Chu Meng, flicking a peanut at him.
You really fancy these, Gu An dodged smoothly, then proceeded to ask, “Did Senior come suddenly because of Ren Shan’s task?”
“It’s not because of that,” Chu Meng shook her head, “I heard that the items you submitted have been tampered with and it seems like the most important thing is missing.
Your big reward will be severely reduced.
The assessment is still ongoing.”
After a pause, Chu Meng curiously asked, “What reward do you want for yourself?”
Gu An thought for a moment.
The things he wanted weren’t beyond three categories.
First, logging—the better the spirit wood, the better.
Second, cultivation techniques, he didn’t have any for Foundation Establishment yet.
Third, magic spells, especially for Qi Sea Gang Qi, it was the same for others.
What he had learned before was no longer sufficient.
Hesitating, he simply said, “What does Senior think I should need?”
If he mentioned cultivation techniques, he was worried they might really give him a powerful one but only suitable for Foundation Establishment level.
Requesting more later on might lead to being strangled at the bottleneck.
Logging was obviously not normal.
In fact, what he needed the most was magic spells.
But to ask for magic spells seemed like it wasn’t a very good reward, kind of odd.
“Of course, you should get cultivation techniques, elixir pills, and it would be best to get an Inner Sect identity,” said Chu Meng casually while eating peanuts.
Gu An nodded.
Indeed, having an Inner Sect identity was better than his current status.
But without sufficient cultivation, having such an identity might not necessarily be a good thing.
As for cultivation techniques and elixir pills, the former was easy to be controlled with, the latter not so effective.
After all, what he gained from logging was equivalent to a stronger version of the elixir pills.
It makes advancement easier, as well as learning magic spells.
“Does identity count as a reward?” Gu An still asked.
“Of course, what’s so hard about getting an Inner Sect identity for that scoundrel?
It’s just that she can’t come personally, otherwise it would expose you.
However, it’s not something you can’t ask for, it’s just unfortunate that what you brought back this time isn’t perfect,” Chu Meng shook her head in a sigh.
“What secret item did I bring back?” asked Gu An.
“How would I know?” Chu Meng rolled her eyes.
Then she looked at Gu An seriously:
“Do you know what happened in the Outer Sect?”
“Is the Law Enforcement Hall conducting an investigation?” Gu An immediately asked.
“That’s right, do you know who they are investigating for?” Chu Meng continued to inquire.
“Qing Chenxi?” Gu An pondered and then said, “I heard about it today.”
“Yes,” Chu Meng took out a dish and arranged the peanuts, “normally Qing Chenxi’s death wouldn’t prompt an investigation.
Although people from the Law Enforcement Hall took on the case, the person handling it wasn’t diligent, so initially, it ended with nothing done.
But the accident lies with the person behind Qing Chenxi.
He spent five thousand merit points to request that another department of the Law Enforcement Hall conduct a thorough investigation.”
Hearing this, Gu An said somewhat blankly:
“Requesting another department of the Law Enforcement Hall to investigate?”
“Yes,” nodded Chu Meng, “You see, among the people in the Law Enforcement Hall, some are strict and some are slack.
So often it’s just a matter of luck.
But within the Law Enforcement Hall, there’s a department called Luo Sheng Hall.
This is where the most capable or well-connected individuals of the Law Enforcement Hall gather.
As long as the Sect is willing to pay the merit, the people here can investigate matters whether they have been resolved by the Sect or not.
For example, the matter concerning Qing Chenxi.”
“Are there many such cases?” Gu An asked curiously.
“Not many.” Chu Meng shook her head.
“Even fewer for the sake of an Outer Disciple, as it’s just too expensive, which is why everyone is astonished.”
“Since it’s uncommon, what do people in Luo Sheng Hall usually do?” Gu An asked curiously.
“What kind of question is that?” Chu Meng looked puzzled.
That question veered off quite quickly.
“Just curious.” Gu An replied.
“What else can they do?
They log.” Chu Meng said irritably as she picked up a peanut: “People in Luo Sheng Hall deal with the Sect’s most special trees, logging when there’s nothing else to do, busy with other matters otherwise.
Of course, not everyone needs to log, after all, there’s only so much special spirit wood, so if one person logs, the others are free.
That means they’re also involved in the normal enforcement activities of the Law Enforcement Hall.
Overall, it depends on luck; it’s more frightening to run into them when they’re idle.
They could dig up anything about you.”
Gu An was somewhat surprised to hear this.
What a great place this was.
“How does one join Luo Sheng Hall?” Gu An asked.
“It’s very hard.
First, you have to become an Inner Sect Disciple, then go through various assessments, and finally, you need someone’s recommendation, which is extremely scarce.” Chu Meng tossed peanuts into her mouth as she spoke: “That scumbag has a recommendation.
If you complete some major task, you could bring it up.
But you get a mission like the one to capture me once in ten years.
Most likely, you won’t get a chance to complete such a task.”
Gu An fell silent.
Although the place was good, getting in was indeed difficult.
He must first become part of the Inner Sect.
But it would be the best to get into that place.
Special spirit wood, and no need to worry about other things.
He could surely take on the logging all by himself, as others probably disliked it.
And then rapidly advance in strength.
But the Law Enforcement Hall is a place with extreme power within the Sect, and Luo Sheng Hall is even more so.
Getting in would surely be very difficult.
On thinking this, Gu An was startled; he suddenly realized that this department seemed to be investigating him.
A cold sweat broke out.
Who killed Qing Chenxi, he knew better than anyone else.
What if they continued the investigation and it led to him?
“Will they definitely find out about Qing Chenxi’s case?” Gu An asked.
“I came to talk to you about this.” Chu Meng finished her peanuts and then said:
“I am here to ask you whether Qing Chenxi’s death has anything to do with you?”
“Senior, what are you talking about?” Gu An hurriedly shook his head.
“As a Qi Refining Seventh Layer, I wouldn’t be qualified, right?”
“You qualify.” Chu Meng sat up straight and said earnestly to the person in front of her: “In the Vajra Wood Garden, you seemed capable of killing a Third Level of Qi Refining manager even if you appeared to be at the Qi Refining Sixth Level.
In the Outer Sect, it’s even less difficult for a Qi Refining Seventh Layer to kill a Ninth Level of Qi Refining.”
Gu An: “…”
The former is the same level, while the latter is a level higher; the difficulty has increased, Gu An solemnly corrected in his mind.
It was all thanks to the Qi Sea Sky Gang, otherwise, he would have been helpless.
His cultivation technique was too mediocre, otherwise he wouldn’t have sustained so many injuries.
“Why would senior suspect me?” Gu An asked curiously.
“A reflex, since at the Spirit Tree Garden, the dead were all killed by you.
Others don’t even realize that you are the real killer when they try to frame you.
And recently, because of the task involving Ren Shan, you have had some connection to Qing Chenxi, one way or another.
So naturally, you were my first suspect.” Chu Meng said.
You see right through people, Gu An thought to himself.
But he couldn’t admit it.
“What will happen if they find out who killed Qing Chenxi?” Gu An asked as if curiously.
